Saturday Good Reads

We
started the week with The Columbia
Journalism Review harshly criticizing Rolling
Stone Magazine for a series of journalistic failures in its report last
fall on an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia. The story almost
began unraveling when it was published. It turned out not to be true, but it
spoke volumes about American news media, cultural elites, and the narratives we
are so willing to believe because we want them to be true.

But
there was also much good poetry (it’s National Poetry Month), photography, art,
and a couple of fun videos of some college students visiting London.

A group of students from Taylor University did a “Literary London
2015” tour in late March, and two videos are up on the English
Department web site. It’s a wonderful montage of sights from London and southern
England, including reading Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre and “Murder in the
Cathedral” at Canterbury Cathedral. If you look fast, you’ll see a painting of
Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy on a wall in Bath. No words; strictly images and
scenes.
